Chapter 540 The Fat Baby in the Dream

In the evening, the wind started to blow outside.

On the round table outside were placed several exquisite dishes, all of which were Xingxing's favorites.

Da Xisi Po was not happy to eat here, so she finished her meal in the house and put all the bowls, chopsticks and plates at the door.

Xingxing ate by herself.

The little girl was very quiet. She was also very quiet when she ate her meal. She ate with great relish. It was obvious that she was a child who cherished food since childhood.

Nanny Qingluan watched with soft eyes at the side. She felt even happier when she saw that Xingxing, despite her small size, slowly finished all the exquisite dishes with a great appetite. She kept asking if they wanted a few more dishes.

Xing Xing waved her hands repeatedly: "Mammy, I really can't eat any more. I'm almost dying. Mammy, don't bring so many dishes next time. I really can't finish it all by myself."

In the past, she usually ate with her grandparents. Although there was a lot of food on the table, the whole family would always finish it. Even when she ate in the yard, she would usually ask the kitchen to cook as much as she ate, and rarely left any food.

In the mansion of Duke Xin, so many dishes were served at once. Even though Xingxing had a big appetite, her belly was still bloated from all the eating.

Nanny Qingluan was stunned, having an indescribable feeling.

The little girl is simple and sincere, and she is quite different from all the young ladies she has come into contact with, including her own eldest daughter.

Nanny Qingluan's eyes became softer and she responded softly.

As the night deepened, Xingxing yawned.

This small couch was covered with a quilt made of Shu brocade, which was soft against the skin. It would be Xingxing's bed tonight.

However, before Xing Xing fell asleep, a weak voice came from the bunk bed: "Qing Luan..."

Nanny Qingluan almost immediately ran to the bedside, her excitement evident in her words: "Old Madam!"

When Xingxing slowly approached, the old lady of Duke Xin and Nanny Qingluan had been talking for quite a while.

The old lady of Duke Xin also knew the general story. When she saw Xingxing, she couldn't help but reveal a bit of kindness in her eyes.

At this moment, the old lady of Duke Xin was still a little weak. She wanted to say something, but she really didn't have the energy. She could only spit out three words with difficulty: "Good child..."

The maid had already called Da Xi Si Po from the next room. Da Xi Si Po came over to check the pulse of the old lady of Duke Xin, and then carefully checked her body fortune. Then she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that Xing Xing is here. The calamity that hit the old lady didn't invade her heart. Otherwise, by then, no medicine could cure her, and even the Great Luo Zhenxian couldn't save her... It's good that she woke up now. Let Xing Xing accompany the old lady for a few more days, and her body will slowly recover."

The old lady of Duke Xin looked at Xing Xing with gratitude.

Xing Xing was embarrassed: "Actually I didn't do anything. I just sat in your room and ate and drank."

Qingluan Madam had tears in her eyes at this moment, and she said in a hushed voice: "How can you say that? You are too modest! If it weren't for your good fortune, I'm afraid our old lady would be in great danger! I will set up a longevity tablet for you tomorrow!"

As they were talking, the old Duke Xin, who had received the news, also hurried over.

He and the old lady of Duke Xin have been a couple since their youth and have been companions for so many years. They have been together hand in hand until now. The depth of their feelings cannot be explained in a few words.

The old wife of Duke Xin suddenly fainted. Duke Xin was actually very panicked, but he couldn't panic and could only pretend to be calm in front of his family.

At this moment my wife woke up. She was as calm as the old Duke Xin, but she actually lost one of her shoes!

"Madam!" Old Duke Xin walked quickly into the room and rushed to the bedside of old Duke Xin without any delay. Seeing that the old lady had woken up and looked at him, he was almost moved to tears.

Xingxing and Grandma Daxi went to stay in the outer room, leaving the inner room to the old couple of Duke Xin.

At this moment, the old lady of Duke Xin was helped to sit up by Nanny Qingluan. Some pillows were stuffed behind her so that she could sit comfortably on the bunk bed.

After waking up for a while, she recovered some strength and was able to speak a little.

She looked at the old Duke Xin and said hoarsely, "...I seem to have had a nightmare. In the dream, I was haunted by a group of evil spirits. I was thinking, I have accumulated virtue and done good deeds in my life, and I have never harmed anyone. How could I have such karma?"

The old Duke Xin said soothingly, "Don't worry. This all started when a maid destroyed the fate-changing tower of the second daughter of the Prince of Jiping's family. She was tainted with karmic disasters. When she returned home, the calamity hit you. You are old, so you fainted. This is not a matter of karma or no karma."

The old lady of Duke Xin nodded, but her eyes were empty with reminiscence: "... Later, I met a little baby with golden light all over her body. The little baby was white and tender, and as handsome as the fat baby in the New Year pictures. She had a little cinnabar on her forehead and sat in front of me. Her body was shining with golden light. I felt warm all over, and none of the ghosts and monsters dared to approach..."

The old Duke Xin was shocked when he heard this:

"Why does it sound like Fukusui Xiangjun is sitting by your side to help you?"

The old lady of Duke Xin laughed with tears in her eyes: "Isn't it? You think so too. In my dream, I asked the fat kid why he helped me, but he just smiled and called me grandma... I wanted to touch her, but she was getting farther and farther away from me... Not long after I woke up, I saw Fusui Xiangjun standing beside my bed, and her face actually overlapped with the fat kid in my dream... Duke, do you think Fusui Xiangjun really has such a fate with us?"

Old Duke Xin was speechless.

He had just found out that, although he didn't know what had gone wrong and the child had been replaced, Yu Mingzhu was most likely not their biological granddaughter.

——Fukusui Xiangjun was picked up by her family, so, could it be that Fukusui Xiangjun is really their granddaughter?

This thought flashed through his mind, and even the old Duke Xin felt it was a bit absurd.

How could it be such a coincidence?

But once some thoughts arise, thinking back on certain things seems to confirm these thoughts.

For example, his wife once told him that Xingxing looked very much like Jiao when she was young. It was fine before, but ever since the old Duke Xin thought Xingxing was their granddaughter, he really felt that Xingxing looked more and more like Jiao when she was young and hadn't married yet.

For another example, Xingxing, although a county lady, is not at all coquettish, and sometimes even has a bit of heroic spirit in her bones - isn't this just like him who has fought on the battlefield for most of his life?

The more the old Duke Xin thought about it, the more he felt that Xingxing was their granddaughter.

But this matter is without basis. They can't just adopt Fusui Xiangjun as their granddaughter based on what they think is true, right?

After the old Duke Xin came out of his old wife's room, he went to the study, frowned, and sent his trusted attendant to investigate Xingxing's matter.
